Functional integration

A longstanding problem facing the State Council lies in the overlapping or multi-channel allocation of functions.

The defects of the structure are abused by some corrupt officials who seek private gain through their position of power, thus damaging the Party's relations with the people and undermining the government's authority.

To optimize the structure, the State Council needs to integrate identical or similar institutional functions into a sole government department, such as the registry of housing, forest, grassland and land, which currently falls to various government agencies, according to the plan.

The State Council plans to establish a unified real estate registry administration to protect the security of property transactions and effectively protect the legal rights of property owners, while setting up a unified social credit code system based on resident ID card numbers and codes for organizations and institutions to fight corruption.
